TOPIC: Elist Experience (8 yrs after implant)

Hi Everyone
I plan on describing my experience with Elist implant and testicles. First I need feedback myself. Since I just had the implant removed 1 wk ago. My hard on is regularly and a bit thicker. Not exactly the 5.5 lg yet but about 5.0

I am mild stretching and the scar still has dried blood and stitches but I can feel something like a thread on the top center of my penis about 1/4\" to the right of center. It runs from the front of the penis (although cannot tell where it attaches it just fades out) to the top base where the scar is at. Is this scar tissue? I kind of remember reading that Elist puts a dissolvable surgical thread in there to hold the penis from pulling out to far (because I\'m going to gain a freaking 12\" penis... Yeah right\") until it is fully healed and then it should dissolve. Are any of you familiar with this. Or is this gonna prevent me from obtaining full length. I am not sure if it is presently going to resist my penis from pulling totally out.

Look at the attached pics and where my thumbnail is at I can feel a string or scar tissue?

Thanks

Hi @JohnnyLovely

I\'m not familiar with recovering from an implant Removal myself, though sadly we have loads of members who are. But I have had numerous surgeries and will say that at just one week post op, it\'s very hard to comment on what is what. I\'ve had swelling that was so hard that I was convinced the surgeon had left some kind of metal tool in my penis and it lasted for weeks or maybe months. The point being, at this stage, it\'s so hard to say what is scar tissue and what is swelling.

You\'ll need to wait for comments and suggestions from the likes of Messageman and Mustang who have been through this themselves, but I\'d be inclined to say not to do too much or any stretching until you are sure the wounds are closed. I know you need to stretch as soon as possible, but I think the key word there is \"possible.\" I think it could be too early at the moment.

Are you saying you\'ve only lost half and Inch in length? If so then I\'d consider myself lucking if I were you, as I\'d be very confident of that coming back relatively quickly with a good stretching regime, once the incisions are healed.

Good luck with you recovery and please share your experience with the implant.

Yeah, good advice. I will wait a little longer for healing. I will also share my experience with the implant.

I had the penal implant removed after having it 8 months. I did not have any problem with the stitches and I am sure they did dissolve in time. I didn\'t have any feeling of a thread running on top of my penis that I could feel. But I also had nor have any feeling on the top of my penis.

I waited about 4 to 6 weeks. Then I started stretching. I bought a pump I use daily for 15 minutes and a stretcher from sizegentics. I have been using both 5 months. So far I have not gained back any of the 2 inches in length I lost. I also cannot get my feeling back on top of penis from where the implant was. Dr. Elist assures me both will come back. After a year it seems doubtful.

I hope this helps some. I wish I had found this board before I had the surgery.

There has been reports of elist adding a string, he never tells you about it, to support the shaft after Removal. I feel one on the right of my shaft but nothing on the left which is odd. I can\'t be certain of what it is though so I can\'t confirm nor deny the possibility knowing his reputation.

It is possible that is it scar tissue from the implant. He does not pay attention to removing scar tissue after Removal no matter how much his victims stress on removing them. I\'d say call him and see what he says. I guarantee he will deny it, but report back of what he responds with, if u wish.

You are so lucky not to lose more than 0.5\" Erect length so soon after Removal. It is possible that the newer implants are much more softer than the old ones hence they do not create as much scar tissue if removed in a few months.

It will be very awesome of you if you would share your experience and start your own thread about the implant, before, during and after its Removal as an appreciation to the help you will be getting from this site...

Good luck!
